The righteous man walks with integrity; blessed are his children after him.
8 Boqorkii carshiga garsooridda ku fadhiyaa Indhihiisuu sharka oo dhan ku kala firdhiyaa.
A king who sits on a throne to judge sifts out all evil with his eyes.
9 Bal yaa odhan kara, Qalbigayga waan nadiifiyey, Oo dembigayga waan ka daahirsanahay?
Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am cleansed from my sin”?
10 Miisaanno kala cayn ah iyo qiyaaso kala cayn ah, Labaduba Rabbiga waa u karaahiyo.
Differing weights and unequal measures — both are detestable to the LORD.

18 Qasdi kasta waxaa lagu taagaa talo, Oo waano wanaagsan ku dagaallan.
Set plans by consultation, and wage war under sound guidance.
19 Kii sida mid xan badan u warwareegaa wuxuu daaha ka qaadaa waxyaalo qarsoon, Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed kii bushimihiisa kala qaada ha ku darsamin.

25 Waa u dabin nin inuu nacasnimo ku yidhaahdo, Waa quduus, Oo uu dabadeed u nidraa inuu wax weyddiiyo.
It is a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly, only later to reconsider his vows.
26 Boqorkii caqli lahu kuwa sharka leh wuu hufaa, Oo wuxuu dushooda marsiiyaa giringirta.
A wise king separates out the wicked and drives the threshing wheel over them.
27 Dadka ruuxiisu waa laambaddii Rabbiga, Oo wuxuu baadhaa caloosha meelaha ugu hooseeya oo dhan.
The spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD, searching out his inmost being.
28 Naxariista iyo runtu boqorkay ilaaliyaan, Oo carshigiisuna wuxuu ku taagnaadaa naxariis.
Loving devotion and faithfulness preserve a king; by these he maintains his throne.
29 Dhallinyarada xooggoodu waa ammaantooda, Oo cirrada odayaashuna waa quruxdooda.

Lashes and wounds scour evil, and beatings cleanse the inmost parts.
